I've just been buying phones a model or two behind the latest generation. Bonus points for a refurbished phone. Saves a ton of money and they're usually not much less capable than what's new.

Someone down voted you but I can't imagine why. I desperately want Biden to win but he looks like shit out there. Trump, meanwhile, is confidently spouting whatever horseshit pops into his head (even had the fucking gall to call Biden a criminal). Half the government is gleefully destroying the country and the other half is letting them. I honestly don't see a way forward for this country. I don't like to be a cynic but I cannot imagine a scenario where the next four years aren't an absolute clusterfuck.

Remember Kif: the fastest way to a woman's bed is through her parents. Have sex with them and you're in.

About the same.

It's cool though. The navy says they don't mind.

Gotta appreciate Valve continuing to be a master class in how a successful company should behave

schools are prohibited from teaching the idea that ... any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex

The party of "facts don't care about your feelings," passing laws to keep facts from hurting their feelings.

Wow, that was easy, it came off by itself!

Quick followup, how do you remove a carrot from your nasal cavity?

Go back to whatever Orwellian hellscape you crawled from you traitorous fuck

Of course, it's why he's so popular with Republicans

Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line on the floor. You'll know when the test starts.

It's really quite easy. Just cut out the avocado toast, stop buying those expensive coffees, and invest that cool $69,000,000 your parents left you from their work on the board of an orphan crushing factory.

Sure, here you go:

Didn't think I'd read onomatopoeia of Garfield sucking Jon's toes today, but here we are.

I really enjoyed Ender's Game, but even while reading you can tell there's some weird racist shit going on in Orson Card's head.

Seriously, it's so fucking stupid we're still arguing about this. The majority of people have been cool with weed for decades now.

Hexbear and lemmygrad are the only instances I blocked in-client, and it was a drastic instant improvement.

MF really installed the 'free will' module without RTFM

Yeah, I don't get the hate for skibidi toilet. Like, you guys do realize this is literally the exact same shit we used to watch, right?

Russian puppet spouts Russian propaganda, more at 11

Despite that success, and the App Store’s role in making it possible, Spotify pays Apple nothing. That’s because Spotify — like many developers on the App Store — made a choice. Instead of selling subscriptions in their app, they sell them on their website. And Apple doesn’t collect a commission on those purchases.

Oh noooooo, Apple is only making most of the money, instead of all the money 😭

Eat shit and die, Apple

Some people are really weird when it comes to things being "fair." I forget the details but I remember a study where given the option of getting $100 and a stranger getting $200, a good chunk of people would rather neither of them get anything.

The majority of Dungeons and Dragons gameplay is either roleplaying as your character responding to all sorts of unexpected situations, or rolling dice and calculating what happens based on the result.

But can it run Crysis?

He's kinky like that

Yeah I'm not really getting what the story is here. It reads a bit like, "kids on Club Penguin server say 'ass' in chat by replacing s with $, more at 11!"

I'm sorry, we decided that for this picture, mopeds count as bicycles. Please start over.

Lmao, what even was the thought process here? "You know what'll make people want to eat our chocolate? Santa's dick."

I haven't read it in years, but I enjoyed it when I did. It's kind of a slice of life of some somewhat hipster young adults in a world that's mostly the same as ours but with some random bits of advanced technology, most notably sentiment AI that live alongside humans in robot bodies. I really enjoyed it a few years ago, but I have no idea how the story has progressed since then. I'd definitely give it a try if you're interested.

That's okay, there shouldn't be any games made with later versions of Unity, since everyone knows not to use Unity now.

You have insulted me and my people with this offer 😡 (unless you add 3 gold/turn)

True, but in this case I think the meme is referencing the poem by John Donne (which the Hemingway novel is named after):

No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

Hell, AI for years has meant "crappy script that can make a little guy run around and shoot his gun at you sometimes."

"You can pretty much come up with whatever quote you want and pretend someone famous said it. Nobody checks anyway."

-Sun Tzu

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

-- former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman
